What's wrong?
Affected 2021-2023 Gladiator, 1500, and Wrangler vehicles use a 3.0L diesel engine with a high pressure fuel pump, often called the HPFP. That pump raises fuel pressure so the diesel injection system can send the right amount of fuel into the engine at the right time. When it works normally, the engine gets steady fuel flow for starting, idling, and driving.
In this recall, the pump can fail before it should. FCA traced the problem to the Bosch CP4.2 pump, where internal pump failure can create metal or component debris inside the fuel system. That debris can block or damage fuel delivery parts, starving the engine of fuel. If fuel pressure drops far enough, the vehicle can stall.
Before a stall, occupants can see a Malfunction Indicator Lamp or a service Electronic Throttle Control indicator. They can also notice a fuel leak at the pump or excessive noise from the pump.
